Ezekieli 13
1 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 « Mwana na moto, sakola mabe na tina na basakoli ya Isalaele, oyo bazali kosakola sik’oyo; loba na ba-oyo bazali kosakola makambo oyo ezali kowuta na mitema na bango moko: ‹ Boyoka Liloba na Yawe!
Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto those that prophesy out of their own heart, Hear ye the word of the Lord:
3 Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Mawa na basakoli ya bazoba, oyo balandaka makanisi ya mitema na bango moko! Nzokande bamonaki eloko moko te.
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Woe unto the scandalous prophets, that follow their own spirit, without having seen any thing!
4 Oh Isalaele, basakoli na yo bazali lokola bambwa ya zamba kati na bisika oyo etonda na biloko ebeba.
Like foxes among the ruins have been thy prophets, O Israel!
5 Bomataki te na mir mpo na kobamba madusu mpe kozingela libota ya Isalaele na mir zingazinga mpo na kobatela yango na tango ya bitumba, na mokolo ya Yawe.
Ye did not go up into the breaches, nor did ye make a fence around the house of Israel to stand in the battle on the day of the Lord.
6 Bimoniseli na bango ezali ya pamba, mpe masakoli na bango ezali ya lokuta. Balobaka: ‘Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi,’ nzokande Ngai Yawe, natindi bango te. Mpe bazelaka ete maloba na bango ekokisama!
They saw falsehood and lying divination, they who say, “The Lord saith,” when the Lord had not sent them; and yet they made others hope for the fulfillment of the word.
7 Boni, bimoniseli na bino ezalaka ya pamba te, mpe masakoli na bino ezalaka ya lokuta te, atako bolobaka: ‘Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi,’ nzokande Ngai nalobi na bino ata liloba moko te?
Had ye not seen a false vision, and had ye not said a lying divination? and ye say, “The Lord saith,” when I have not spoken.
8 Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Mpo ete bolobaka masakoli ya pamba mpe bimoniseli ya lokuta, Ngai moko natelemeli bino, elobi Nkolo Yawe.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Whereas ye have spoken falsehood, and have seen lies: therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord Eternal.
9 Loboko na Ngai ekobeta basakoli oyo balobaka masakoli ya pamba mpe bimoniseli ya lokuta: bakozala na esika te kati na lisanga ya bato na Ngai, bakombo na bango ekokomama te kati na buku ya libota ya Isalaele, bakokoma te kino na mokili ya Isalaele. Boye, bokoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Nkolo Yawe.
And my hand shall be against the prophets that see false-hood, and that divine lies; in the secret council of my people shall they not be, and in the register of the house of Israel shall they not be written, and into the land of Israel shall they not come: and ye shall know that I am the Lord Eternal.
10 Boye, lokola bapengwisaka bato na Ngai tango balobaka: ‘Kimia,’ na tango kimia ezali te; lokola bapakolaka potopoto ya pembe na mir oyo bato na Ngai basili kotonga,
Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, “Peace,” when there was no peace: and [my people] build a protecting wall, and lo, they plaster it with unadhesive mortar.
11 yebisa bato oyo bapakolaka yango potopoto ya pembe ete mir ekokweya. Nakonokisa mvula moko ya makasi mpe ya mabanga, bongo mipepe makasi ekotomboka.
Say unto those who plaster it with unadhesive mortar, that it shall fall: there cometh an overflowing rain-shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a storm-wind shall rend it.
12 Tango mir yango ekokweya, bato bakotuna bino: ‘Mosala nini penza potopoto ya pembe esali?’
And, lo, the wall is fallen down; will it not now be said unto you, Where is the plastering wherewith ye have plastered?
13 Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakotinda mopepe moko ya makasi, kati na kanda na Ngai, mpe nakonokisa mvula moko ya makasi mpe ya mabanga, kati na kotomboka na Ngai, mpo na kobebisa nyonso nye.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I will even rend it with storm-winds in my fury; and an overflowing rain-shower shall come in my anger, with great hailstones in my fury to destroy it.
14 Nakokweyisa mir oyo bopakolaki potopoto ya pembe mpe nakolalisa yango kino na se, mpo ete miboko na yango emonana. Tango mir yango ekokweya, ekoboma bino; mpe na bongo bokoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe.
And I will pull down the wall that ye have plastered with unadhesive mortar, and I will cast it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be laid open; and it shall fall, and ye shall be destroyed in the midst of it: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
15 Nakokweyisela mir mpe bato oyo bapakolaki yango potopoto ya pembe kanda na Ngai; nakoloba na bino: ‘Mir ezali lisusu te! Bato oyo bazalaki kopakola yango potopoto ya pembe bazali lisusu te;
Thus will I let out all my wrath upon the wall, and upon those that have plastered it with unadhesive mortar; and I will say unto you, Gone is the wall, and gone are they that plastered it;
16 basakoli ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki kosakola na tina na Yelusalemi mpe komona bimoniseli ya kimia mpo na yango, nzokande kimia ezali na yango te, bazali lisusu te, elobi Nkolo Yawe.’ ›
[Namely, ] the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see for her a vision of peace, when there is no peace, saith the Lord Eternal.
17 Boye, yo, mwana na moto, tala mpe telemela bilenge basi ya Isalaele, oyo bazali kosakola kolanda makanisi ya mitema na bango moko! Sakola mabe na tina na bango
But, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, who prophesy out of their own heart: and prophesy against them,
18 mpe loba: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Mawa na basi oyo balataka basinga ya maji na maboko na bango mpe batongaka bitambala mpo na mito ya bato ya ndenge na ndenge mpo na kotiela bomoi na bango mitambo! Bokanisi ete bokotiela bomoi ya bato na Ngai mitambo mpo ete botikala bino moko kaka na bomoi?
And say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Woe to the women that sew bolsters together for the armpits of all, and make cushions for the head of every stature, to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, that ye may keep your own soul alive?
19 Bozali kobebisa bosantu ya Kombo na Ngai liboso ya bato na Ngai mpo na ndambo ya mbuma ya orje mpe ndambo ya mapa! Tango bozali kokosa bato na Ngai, oyo bazali koyoka makambo ya lokuta, bozali nde koboma bato oyo basengelaki kokufa te, mpe kotika na bomoi bato oyo basengelaki te kozala na bomoi.
And ye profane me among my people for handfuls of barley and for bits of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to keep alive the souls that should not live, by your lying to my people that listen to lies!
20 Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Natelemeli basinga na bino ya maji, oyo bozali kosalela mpo na kotiela bato na Ngai mitambo lokola bandeke, nakokata-kata yango mpe nakolongola yango na maboko na bino; mpe nakokangola bomoi ya bato oyo bokangaki na mitambo lokola bandeke.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I am against your bolsters, whereon ye hunt the souls that they may flutter [in your net], and I will tear them away from your arms; and I will let the souls go free, even the souls that ye hunt that they may flutter [in your net.]
21 Nakopasola bitambala na bino mpe nakokangola bato na Ngai na maboko na bino; bakokweya lisusu te na se ya bokonzi na bino! Mpe na bongo bokoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe.
And I will tear away your cushions, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
22 Lokola bozali kolembisa mitema ya bato ya sembo na nzela ya lokuta na bino, nzokande Ngai moko nalembisaki bango mitema te; lokola bozali kolendisa bato mabe ete bakangama na etamboli na bango ya mabe mpo ete babikisa bomoi na bango te,
Because ye grieve the heart of the righteous with falsehood, when I have not given him pain; and strengthen the hands of the wicked, so that he should not return from his wicked way, through which he might live.
23 bokomona lisusu te bimoniseli na bino wana ya pamba mpe bokoloba lisusu masakoli te; nakobikisa bato na Ngai na maboko na bino, mpe, na bongo, bokoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe. › »
Therefore shall ye see no more falsehood, and tell no more divinations; and I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
